Innovation is happening in Buffalo Niagara every day. It’s mandatory for business survival, and to keep our regional economy moving forward. By striving to do things smarter, faster, better, local companies aren’t just ensuring profits, but they’re securing jobs for their employees and helping industry sectors develop and thrive in our region. That’s worth celebrating.
Below is a list of this years nominees and finalists.
In keeping with that spirit, the May 3rd Innovate Buffalo Niagara event has a lineup of highly engaging break-out and plenary sessions, as well as a dynamic keynote speaker to top it off. Additionally, interactive “islands of innovation” will give attendants the opportunity to experience pioneering business practices that are taking place in their own backyard. This promises to be memorable event.
